IBM's Launches New Storage Infrastructure Initiatives: Page 3 of 3

Note that with these announcements IBM is staying abreast of some of the most important trends in the industry. While iSCSI is useful as a storage protocol either as a complement to FC SANs or where there have been no FC SANS, FCoE enables those organizations that already have an investment in FC SANs to be able to incorporate standard Ethernet networks into their storage networking planning. FDE plays to the increased need to preserve the confidentiality of data especially against data breaches that might compromise the privacy of personal individual information. SSDs are going to play a bigger role in storage, but understanding how they can best be used and integrating them properly into existing storage environments has to be carefully thought through in order to be able to justify SSDs economically. So IBM is doing its part in continuing a leadership role in these storage times.
